The motor is the centrepiece of a machine and therefore also in robotics. Depending on the area of application, a corresponding motor is used, such as servomotors in vehicles and stepper motors in printers. The motor plays a driving role. Discover a large selection of (mini) motors for your next project in our online shop - from servo, stepper and vibration motors to DC motors.
DC MOTORS FOR SIMPLE CONTROLS
Direct current motors, also known as DC motors, are particularly popular in the field and in modelling, as they are smaller and easier to control than other motors. They are therefore often used in robotics, but also for simple applications such as a small fan. However, they are also used in more complex projects, such as in a CNC milling machine. We also offer DC geared motors, which consist of an electric motor and a gearbox.
PRECISION WITH STEPPER MOTORS
Stepper motors are used when precise object positioning is required, for example in a printer head. They do not require sensors for position feedback for operation. Compared to DC motors, stepper motors have more than two connections. They often have four, six or eight connections, in which case they are referred to as bipolar or unipolar motors. Their easy and precise control via software makes them particularly practical for use in robots.
